Indiana Fever Star Caitlin Clark Hasn’t Started Practices With Contact Yet

Clark tweaked her left ankle during a workout session on August 7. The talented shooter and passer has only played in 13 games this season.

One of the best players in the WNBA, Clark is averaging 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.5 blocks for the Fever this season. She missed the All-Star Game in Indiana because of her right groin injury.

Clark won the 2024 Rookie of the Year Award. She was the first pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. The Iowa product has career averages of 18.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks with the Fever, who are 21-19 on the season.

The last time we heard from Clark was when the 23-year-old was on WNBA legend Sue Bird‘s podcast.

Clark discussed what it has been like to be injured this season.

“It’s just been so challenging. Like being active and playing four games and then not and like not feeling the best and then frustrated of like how hard I worked in the offseason. And then like all I do is rehab and like continue to do this process and just like trying to trust that the best I can,” Clark said. “And obviously there’s really frustrating days and there’s days where like it’s a little bit easier and like you’re very, very motivated and like you’re right close to the finish line of getting back and being back.

“And then like it’s not like I have a training camp to like build up to like playing my first game again. It’s like no, like you’re tossed into game 30. Like go try to play well. Like it’s hard.”

The Fever are in third place in the Eastern Conference standings. They haven’t clinched a playoff spot yet.
